imtihan apne jafa-kash ka use manzur tha
warna main nazdik tha furqat mein kya kuchh dur tha

puchhe hai aashiq ki apni dekh kar turbat ko kya
kushtgan-e-ishq se ye bhi koi maghfur tha

muddaa tha hum se bhadkana use baaten suna
khair-khwahi ka hamari us mein kya mazkur tha

marte-marte abr ko hargiz na munh chadhne diya
aafrin ai chashm-e-tar tera hi ye maqdur tha

mai-paraston ne tere yun bhi na jaana kaun hai
shaikh go shaitan se zyaada yahan mashhur tha

tira-bakhtan-e-asir-e-zulf ki apne na puchh
roz-o-shab yan ek hai din bhi shab-e-dijur tha

be-qarari dil ki le aai gali mein teri yar
us ko hathon kya karun na-chaar tha majbur tha

wasl mein bhi hae apne ji ki ji mein hi rahi
kuchh na kahne pae 'fidwi' wo nashe mein chur tha
